Guest Mikeslady Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It looks like everyone who applied in August got told 5-6 months, anyone who applied in September got told 6 months. I hope they don't keep increasing the timelines!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifty99 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 We applied September and got told 6 months it said not to expect a decision till march 2011, just out of curiosity has anyone ever been turned down for this visa and would they wait the full 6 months before telling you? We have been asked for further info (sent) and for the meds (done) and heard nothing more for a few weeks now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kateandollie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 We logged our application on 6th August, front loaded my medicals and police report, although I thought my CRB was sufficient, we had to obtain the migration police report, and this was hand delivered 1 week later. No news since, and I was just wondering if there are any other lodgers in August of this year and whether you received a letter advising 5 to 6 months?? We haven't heard anything since, is the interviewing a random selection or do they do this will all applicants?? I must say the waiting is a killer, I know we are all waiting but I don't usual stress of things and I find this waiting is unbearable!!! Cheers Nando65 (Nando and Jane) Hi Nando, We are also in the 5/6 month waiting range, having applied in August also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rache&matt Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi, I have just entered the waiting game with this and have been advised 5-6 months. If my husband gets a good work opportunity he may go to Aus before me while I wait for visa to come through. If he does this will I be ok to visit on tourist visa while waiting to spouse visa to complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hels Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 We have friends in Bibra lake and South lake, we will be based in bibra staying with mates then look to buy something after a few months once we have jobs etc Prob start off looking in that area then look further out as times goes on, we can afford to take a while and be choosey which is nice, plus hoping the exchange rate gets abit better to trans our money over. Then start our life and see where it takes us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hels Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 My CO was SV and she was awesome, very speedy with responses, lovely on the phone today, very helpful. We didnt need to send any more eviendence in or have a phone interview, the process was exceptionally easy, so glad we did it ourselves and they charged us the lower fee as my application landed there just a day or so before the price went up.

TheOptimist Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I have got my visa! (subclass 309). Wasn't expecting it for another couple of weeks, DIAC must be on fire! Don't know what to do with myself - cry, dance, sing or drink (or perhaps all 4?!) :jiggy::jiggy::jiggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
